Playing Effortlessly

Take action

Musicians can train themselves to be more comfortable with playing effortlessly under pressure with a similar exercise. Here’s how:

Select an excerpt or two that are relatively high in energy, and that you have a pretty good handle on.

Set up an audio/video recorder, to tape yourself

Play through an excerpt or section of a piece as if it were a real performance, that is to say, resolve to demonstrate some of your absolute best playing, but at the same time, play with as much ease and effortlessness as possible.

Evaluate yourself from 1-10 on the quality of your playing, and from 1-10 on the degree of effortlessness that you achieved. Aim for consistent 9′s on both.
